Totally agree - persistent is definitely what Old Man Winter was, hopefully he's on vacation this year and we'll get a pass.

I'm enjoying the sudden arrival of warm/hot weather and loving it. Lord knows it will be gone as quick as it came. You're in a beautiful spot on the Island so hopefully you and your family are able to get out and enjoy it.

Thanks for dropping by Ian - and Happy Canada Day to you too. Cheers, Jenny

Hi Jenny - we've just had our summer - all five days of it! But it's Wimbledon and summer seasonal life ... so it'll rain, but giving us roses, green grass (usually!) ... good to see you and enjoy your partying - cheers Hilary

Hi Hilary - so happy to see your avatar in my comment area. :) Are you enjoying all the Wimbledon games? Summer life is fleeting but I'm sure you're making the most of it. Yes... rain seems to be the reason the roses/grass are looking their best this year, so I will not complain (too loudly).

Ditto - lawn, snow, snow, lawn... damn vicious cycle. So long as I'm able to see a little sun in amongst the toiling I'm generally a happy gal. (Which means I've been a vile nasty piece of work this past Dec to mid June - hahahahahaha - yup, it's been virtually nonstop rain all that time.)

I know what you're saying about that time thing. I continually play catch up with my life anymore. I've still got issues that are a few years old that I haven't addressed. And now I'll be off on another vacation. Seems like I never completely unpacked from my last summer vacation. Come to think of it I guess I didn't.

I read you loud and clear when it comes to playing catch up. But... I figure that's what tomorrow is for. LOL

I hope you have a wonderful vacation. Where to this time? Leaving a bag packed and ready is a good thing, right! I mean you never know when you got run! hahahaMaybe you'll fully unpack after this vacation - might find stuff in your luggage you thought you lost!

Thanks Arlee for stopping by and leaving a comment that made me smile! Enjoy the summer.

So true. Here summer barely waves then its done. We've had a really cold winter, a wet spring, a nondescript summer (so far) and fall will probably be like spring - YUCK. I'm getting tired of all the rain.

Hey, I've seen those roses somewhere before. Now where was that? Hmmm...lol. Summer has been here in Florida for quite some time but now we're in the rainy season which means wet, muggy, sweltering days. I at least have a personal weather watcher to let me know what's happening outside..hahahahaha
